Damn, Derrick, we see you! Derrick Green, that is—the vocalist of Sepultura. As if he hasn’t been busy enough on the band’s farewell tour, he’s also been working behind the scenes, scheming and plotting on what he’s going to do once the band wraps up. Apparently, he’s got a whole new band in the works.

I think we all kinda saw this one coming, so it’s nice to have it basically confirmed. Godsmack frontman Sully Erna appeared on one of everyone’s favorite radio shows, SiriusXM’s Trunk Nation with Eddie Trunk, on April 23, where he was asked about whether the band’s latest album Lighting Up the Sky will be their
If David Attenborough scored music documentaries the same way he does animal docs, I’d absolutely scream from excitement. That’s not happening in this case, but could you imagine? Anyway, Blood Incantation plan on releasing their documentary All Gates Open, with a soundtrack to boot. The 73-minute juggernaut of a documentary score originally came as part
Let’s start out by saying that we do NOT stan, or really even like, Live Nation over here (who the hell does?), but, just like last time, we feel like this is a pretty good deal worth sharing. The ticket monopoly just announced this years $30 “Ticket to Live” shows, seemingly the same as their
Another day, another creep to call out. Can Slam Dunk Festival founder Ben Ray please come to the front? You’ve got some explaining to do. Yesterday, British actress and showgirl Jenny Miller blasted social media accusing Ray of sexual assault. She says the two were friends with a working relationship where she would sometimes dance
Last week, attendees of this year’s Monsters of Rock Cruise boarded the Norwegian Joy and embarked on a trip from Miami to Grand Turk full of good times and great music. It was supposed to be a celebration of all things rock and metal on the high seas, but one dude apparently didn’t get the
Their first show in Italy should have been an entirely positive experience, but Ukrainian World War I-themed blackened death metal band 1914 ran into a problem with local police over money they collected during the tour. According to a statement the band shared with fans, their visit to Italy went mostly without a hitch until
Metalcore outfitAugust Burns Redhave a new album titled Season of Surrender coming out this June and it’s with that in mind that they dropped their new single “Sonic Salvation”. The new track features Polaris vocalist Jamie Halls. Clocking in at just over four minutes, guitarist JB Brubaker said the track was the very first he
It’s beginning to sound like new Baroness is on the horizon, as the band gets ready to head into the studio this summer.

Greetings,Decibelreaders! It’s an important day for metal, as we’re given the lastAt the Gates album featuring Tomas Lindberg. Lots to say about that below. But it’s also a day to be grateful for the other releases on this list, especially if you want to hear the future of the melodic death metal as well (scroll

What a day! Two stories referencing baseball and two chances for me to talk about how the New York Mets have failed me up to this point. (Really, it’s bad you guys.) But down in Baltimore, the Orioles are doing relatively okay and earlier today they announced that they would be celebrating GRAMMY-winning hometown hardcore
We chatted with Denver-based atmospheric band Sungrave about their recent self-released EP, Cold Flesh and No One.

Finnish symphonic metal outfit Amberian Dawn released the second single off their forthcoming album Temptation’s Gates earlier today, titled “The Vision of Dreaming”. And though the album won’t come out until June 26 via Napalm Records, it’s yet another introduction to the band’s new vocalist Nicole Willerton. Speaking of the single, keyboardist/guitarist Tuomas Seppälä explained
“I Skogens Djup” is probably not the song title you’d expect from Vancouver, BC-based melodic/symphonic DM outfit Atavistia. After all, Swedish is clearly not the Canuck foursome’s first language. But this latest single from the band’s upcoming fifth full-length, Old Gods Awaken, was inspired by Scandinavian folk metal and Atavistia—Mattias Sippola (guitar/vocals), Max Sepulveda (drums),
Former Metallica bassist Jason Newsted has been living his best life. Ever since leaving the biggest band on the planet, the dude’s been cashing in fat royalties checks and living off the Black Album for decades. He’s also since done other musical stuff to varying degrees of success and exposure, playing with Ozzy, Voivod, and
Mexican death thrash OGs Mortuary—formed way back in 1998, where their original run lasted until 1997 before reuniting full-time in 2008—are staking their claim to modern supremacy with Great Black Earth, their first release since 2012. Mortuary haven’t lost a step in their time out of the studio, perfectly resurrecting the primitive early days sound
Today is the official holiday for pot smokers everywhere, so that makes it the perfect day for a pair of stoner rock bands to tease something huge. After all, they know their fan bases are in an altered state that should make them an almost captive audience, doomscrolling on their phones and whatnot. Earlier today,
Swedish death thrash project Since the Death, going back to its first EP in 2017, has always been a one-man solo project helmed by multi-instrumentalist Oscar Rask. However, on the latest effort,Entangled,Rask (drums/synths/samples/bass/vocals) is joined by Richard Adolfsson on guitar. The pair have manifested a fervently energetic 10-song full-length—the fourth from STD—that’s a buzzsaw of
